My wife and I are headed to Bear Lake this coming Friday for a few days , and I'm planning to take my boat . I fish BL a lot but this is the first time that I have ever gone up there this time of year. Has anybody ever had any kind of luck fish at Bear Lake in August ? I have plans to troll and Jig so I have that covered  , just wondering .

Marked lots of fish in the 100 to 120' depths suspended at 80 to 40'. Marked lots of bait balls. 3 of the cutts still had last night dinner in there throats. All in all a good day in Aug on the Rocky Mountain Caribbean. Left around 9. Lots of people and boats and paddle boarders and jet skis.
